Gloria that's what I thought was the current situation re dance halls. Back in the day it seemed there was a dance hall on every corner.

Oh I love this cello work!  Did he record many of such great music?.  this is one to listen to many many times.

Bubble the entire cd is comprised of cello and piano transcriptions by Beethoven.  I know someone who can make a copy for you.

Mmmmm  I think I know!

What is that instrument of Benedictus? So profound.  It goes to the heart. And the voices blend so well with it. I wish it would never end.

DON  thank you for another wonderful relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Good night and thank for a wo nderful three hours

Bubble and Don. I got a very brief message from Kelly (Kevin) who would like to convey his congratulations on your engagement. He is still unable to get back onto Senior and Friends and thanks everyone for their good wishes.

MarsGal thanks for relaying the message from Kelly; it is much appreciated. We wish him well

We'll hear something from the William Tell opera that isn't the overture.  Also, an interesting take on the 1928 hit song that Sophie Tucker immortalised, and a transcription by an Ulsterman of a work by a Dubliner. And to address the apparent critical shortage of bassoonists  we'll do our small part in presenting a work written for that instrument in the hope it will, in some small way, resurrect this waning interest. I'll also be playing my opening signature work in its entirety and my closing theme as well in a charming vocal rendition.

I am here, don't want to miss anything.

Hi Gloria

Bubble may not be in today because it Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New year, and it's a family gathering.  She might make it later on though

Hi Don  nice happy music to start the best 3 hours of the day. I love waltz music.  I remember other years when Bubble posted different photos of all the food she prepared. It all looked so good.

Sorry I am way late. My nose was in a book, so I wasn't watching the time.

Hi MarsGal

MarsGal  glad you got here, was getting lonesome.

DON  great hearing the complete opening music you use.  Now more of your closing music. I know someone who will really enjoy hearing that. Hope she is listening in Denver today.

I came just in time for this beautiful
Misty Moon Light .  I am glad I did not miss it!

Hi everyone!

BUBBLE  glad you made it, missed you.

Hi Bubble. I'm happy you could join us

Yes, here I am, with a full belly ( traditional lamb festive meal) and a head light from sparkling wine

That sounds like a wonderful celebration. I wish I was there.

It sure was.  I wish I could invite you all!
and the best of all is that 3 of my cousins abroad called with their good wishes. What a joy!

Made it in on time today.Enjoying it.  Will be a nice day for bubble today. Hope she catches a little of you.

Hi JeanneP

DON  instead of the William Tell we are more familiar with we get the theme for the Lone Ranger.

BUBBLE  I have not had lamb in years. My Mother used to cook it and I did only once. My ex said it stunk and not to ever try to cook it again. I have cooked lamb chops since then bun no roast.

DON  I remember Sophie Tucker.

Bubble. You did show up as I had to leave my post to answer the door.
Got back to her my grandmothers favourite.  "My Yiddish Mama"  I love to hear him play it.

Hungarian Dances... old favorite of when I was a teenager.

Hi JeaneP
Gloria I have recording by Sophie. It had to be sold from under the counter because it was considered too risque

DON  I remember seeing Sophie back in the early days of TV. Guess she had to clean up her act for that.  She could be funny.  The 1812 is one of my favorites, I enjoyed this version, quite different.

Oh  sooo good!   Layla Tov!
